I am currently seeking a new intern to help with day to day along with assist photo shoots and shows coming up for the next few months. my last few interns have gone on to become of mice and mens (and now diplo’s) tour manager, a cover model for various albums, a published music photographer, and a full time portrait photographer. So with that said, this will be an opportunity to work directly with me on every aspect of what i do.

You would likely be spending time at both. hours would vary and would change on a weekly basis (sorry, thats what my job is)

You duties would be (but not limited to)
– Shipping

– general assisting

– going to shoots/shows with me as an assistant

– setting up gear, carrying gear,

– adjusting lighting as need be

– learning the equipment and programs

– cleaning and organizing

– going on runs for gear, equipment, supplies

– helping with seminars, travel, etc.

– shipping prints

– inventory

– product/supply orders

– etc.

MUST be local to western mass and have transportation and a valid drivers license, a laptop. and at least a basic knowledge of photography and equipment.

advanced knowledge of photography, lighting, paypal/ebay/online shipping, lightroom, photoshop, canon cameras, mac computers: is a plus but not a must.

please send me an email on here if interested.

JEREMY SAFFER: Exclusive “Till Death… A Guide to Love and Loss” Book Signings at ROCK AND SHOCK and Monte Cristo Bookshop in New London, CT

World renowned music photographer JEREMY SAFFER is pleased to announce two new signings for his new book Till Death… A Guide To Love And Loss. The first signing will take place on Saturday, October 12th at Monte Cristo Bookshop in New London, CT, and the second will take place at Rock and Shock in Worcester, MA on 18th, 19th and 20th (only the 19th will include Ash Costello of New Years Day, Kriz DK of Genitorturers/Deadstar Assembly will be onsite all three days).

Till Death… is now available via Newbury Comics and on Amazon.com. For more information on the book, please visit www.jeremysaffer.com/tilldeath/.

In other exciting news, JEREMY SAFFER is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of his official clothing line, TEN THIRTY ONE (10.31). 10.31 is a halloween based clothing line from the mind of JEREMY SAFFER and the designs of Angelo Parente (ex-Motionless In White).

“I grew up on horror. While many had posters of Superman or Batman on their walls, I had Pinhead, Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface. So naturally Halloween was my favorite time of year,” states Jeremy. “My house is decorated year-round with Halloween garb, life size replicas of horror icons, etc. Aside from photography and music… Halloween and horror are a huge part of my life, so I figured it would be cool to do a clothing line to represent that. A clothing line making things that, above all, I would want to wear, I am very fortunate to get Angelo to do the designs on these shirts, as he and I have created some of my favorite images together, and he understands and shares my affinity for horror and Halloween, I don’t think anyone could have done a better job literally taking my vague words and turning them into perfect designs.”

Learn more about 10.31 at this location www.tenthirtyoneinc.com.

Finally, JEREMY SAFFER is being honored by X-Pressions Magazine as their featured special edition artist this month! The issue also serves as their Halloween issue. See the cover image below. The magazine goes on sale on October 1st and will be available here.

Final East Coast “Capturing Music” Seminar Announced – September 22nd and 23rd in Chicopee, MA

After a busy month of doing shoots with MISS MAY I (this month’s Outburn Magazine cover above), Kerry King of SLAYER, Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT and more, internationally renowned photographer JEREMY SAFFER has some exciting news to share!

After several years of exclusively using DYNALITE Dynamic Lighting, Jeremy has officially signed with DYNALITE as their latest VIP. Jeremy is known for his striking portrait and live music photography work, often featured in publications stretching from Metal Maniacs Magazine to Outburn Magazine and beyond, with artists ranging from My Chemical Romance to Alice Cooper to Behemoth. Jeremy is currently featured on the front page of the DYNALITE website in celebration of his signing. Check out his profile feature here.

“DYNALITE is proud to announce our newest DYNALITE VIP in JEREMY SAFFER. Jeremy’s work is outstanding and once we talked to him it was an easy decision to have him join the DYNALITE family of VIP’s,” states DYNALITE Inc. National Sales Manager Jim Morton. “His work is on the edgy side of music photography and shows a side of the music world that you normally wouldn’t see. He captures the feeling and emotion of his subjects giving the viewer an insight into their world. Beside his music photography, Jeremy’s portrait work stands alone in capturing his subject’s personality. His understanding of lighting completes the story that his subjects look for in their images.”

“I am both excited and extremely honored to become a part of the DYNALITE VIP team,” comments JEREMY SAFFER. “Since first starting my career, the DYNALITE Jackrabbit kit has been my “go to” light kit for on location, on tour, and even around the studio as it’s perfect for what I need. I can shoot outside in the dead of winter on a frozen lake, or in the middle of a desert under a cloudless sky in over 100 degree weather and DYNALITE never fails to fire with perfect and consistent lighting and color temperature. I have used DYNALITE lighting to create endless amounts of magazine covers, album covers, publicity photos, and editorial images of some of the most prominent touring artists in the music industry today. Everyone from ALICE COOPER, MEGADETH, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT, BEHEMOTH, THE MISFITS, to Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, Gary Busey and countless more have spent time in front of my DYNALITE kit. DYNALITE has proven time and time again to be the best, never-fail lighting that I can always trust to provide perfectly consistent and balanced lighting for anything that finds its way in front of my lens. I am looking forward to continuing creating images using the incredible lighting that DYNALITE products provide and work with them to get the best possible lighting in all future photo shoots.”
